Teen Vogue being one of the last mainstream bastions for real journalism being connected to the shutdown of backpage dot com would not be on most people’s 2025 bingo cards but here we are.

New Times Media owners Mike Lacey and Jim Larkin were responsible for a lot of that happening.
Mike loved fucking with lying politicians and pissed of the wrong lying politicians.
He would go on to found backpage which would ultimately be the reason said lying politicians could take him down.

If you know anyone who was exploited on Backpage before it was closed down for human trafficking, tell them that there is a pool of money available for survivors and free legal help in applying for it: www.backpageremissionnetwork.org

And Republicans will make sure to harass and arrest them, because despite being the world's most prolific sex offenders (or maybe because of it?) Rs HATE sex workers. Backpage was shut down in the late 2010s by Republicans making advertising even harder, and ofc they did a bunch of awful stings.

When they shutdown backpage and Craigslist started to die, Grindr became their #1
If you are a male politician who wants to engage in sex with another man, why the hell would you make a Grindr account? You’re THAT horny that you need a public profile that can be traced back to your IP address? You can’t fulfill fantasies in a more secretive way?

It's genuinely fascinating how much the political turn around this stuff is just from people who visibly are not engaged with the country they actually live in. Questions about who is English settled by the Mail's backpage in the 1984 Euros. Cliches about some of the best UK holiday destinations.

Years ago someone put my old email address on Backpage as a weird form of petty revenge. Now I have an email allowing me to file a claim in the lawsuit. The world is a weird place.

It's hip to be square - the Nintendo difference. Though perhaps not enough at the time for the GameCube when bigger and silvery or sleek black was the in thing.
How 'luggable' it is with the handle always makes me think back to PC luggables.

Co-signing this, 15 years in for me and there are some huge barriers to entry now that didn’t exist when I started.
Back when I started, you threw down $6 on a backpage ad, took a couple blurry camera phone pics & walked away with $1,000 your first day lol

Oh and that $6 backpage ad you could take out way back when? You could pay with a fucking GIFT CARD because all this shit with MasterCard and Visa hadn’t happened yet.
It was way easier to stay anonymous as a sex worker. Especially since now, it’s not the norm to cover your face.

Now Rick is lying about what Backpage did, and ignoring that it still DID get taken down by the DOJ, because 230 didn't protect it from federal criminal violations.
